Not late at all ! Thanks, mate.

Ok ! The list of nominees has been drafted and formatted. I just have to copy-paste it into a post tomorrow morning, after making changes in case any further last-minute nominations come in.

It's not too late to nominate !


#GetHype

And here we have it ! The list of illustrious nominees for the VG Facts Awards 2017 !

Something new for this year. Each nominee can give a wee statement about why you should vote for them. Nominees, please send them to me via PM so I can add them, and keep them short and sweet !

Voting will open on the 25th of February to give nominees a chance to make their statements.

In brackets, some of the comments made by nominators.
If you feel that you would be better represented by another link or picture or whatnot, don't hesitate to send me your preferred link so I can add it !
All nominees in alphabetical order.
 
Nominees with statements in the post at the bottom of page six !

From the top blurb - "Something new for this year. Each nominee can give a wee statement about why you should vote for them. Nominees, please send them to me via PM so I can add them, and keep them short and sweet !"

So you can tell everyone why they should vote for you.

I'd like to nominate myself as winner of every category. Thank you, have a nice day and drink responsibly.

Well...

^ how in the hell did Shade get out of being nominated Best Guy Who Barely Posts Anything?

^ He has less posts than most of us have dude.

And here we have it ! The final list of illustrious nominees for the VG Facts Awards 2017 (now with nominee statements !)
 
 
If you haven’t submitted your statements yet, feel free to do so ! Even if you want to tweak what you already have, just send me a PM and I’ll make the changes.

Let's also start thinking of a date to have the actual ceremony ! First tentative proposal - Saturday 18th of March in the afternoon. That way our friends in Europe can tune in, and we also have a good number of weeks before the ceremony to plan our lives around the VGFA ! I'm also away on business on the 11th.

Like last year, voting will follow the preferential ballot system, which I will explain below in the spoiler-tags.

Send in your votes by PM to me, and I'll tally them up with the corroboration of two other members. Just like real elections !

Incidentally, "Rookie of the Forum" would be the appropriate translation of "Best name under Retrolinkx" and it should go to Space Jockey.

Also, here's the link to the Get Rekt award.
